Direct Debit

Direct Debit is a way of making payments directly from one’s banking account without a middleman involved. It is very commonly used in Europe to pay bills or to make regular purchases. Direct Debit is basically a statement made by the account holder which permits the bank to make very specific withdrawals from the account without having to let the account holder know about it in advance. Once this statement has been made, the specific withdrawal can be made as many times as are necessary. In order to make Direct Debit work, the account holder first must get instructions from the receiver of the money. At online casinos which accept Direct Debit as a form of making deposits, the instructions will be made available in the banking options section. The player will be required to supply the casino with certain details such as the name on the account, bank details and billing adresss, amongst other information. The casino will then send this information to the person’s bank. Once the information has gone through, the casino will be able to withdraw a specific amount of money on specific dates which have been specified by the account holder. The online casino will also be responsible for notifying the account holder about the withdrawals in advance. It is up to the player to be sure that there is enough money in the account to make the transaction go through.

There are many benefits to using Direct Debit. The biggest benefit is that this method completely cuts out the middleman and makes sending money much easier and also much cheaper. The casino player will not have to pay for any ebanking charges, transaction fees and so on. Direct Debit is completely free and players simply move money from their bank account to the casino account. The Direct Debit payment option is very safe because the bank is monitoring every single transaction. Only the set amount of money on the specified days is allowed to be taken out of the account. If there is a mistake, then the bank is at fault and you are reimbursed. However, banks rarely make such mistakes. The account holder can cancel the Direct Debit at any point just by telling the bank. Another great benefit of Direct Debit is the 24 hour help center which is available. There is also an online site where account holders can manage and switch accounts.

The non profit group Bankers Automated Clearing Services, or Bacs, is responsible for processing Direct Debit. The organization processes around 5.6 billion payments and almost 4 trillion pounds of Direct Debit payments in just the UK. Some casinos are only accepting Direct Debits from Banks. Since this service is only available to UK and Ireland residents, that means many players will not be able to use the service. Even for those can use Direct Debits, they may not like having the set amount of money transferred without being able to control their casino accounts simply by adding money whenever they choose.
